Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull

Marks a copy pick map (read Pick Map) to perform only the copy operation if the field specified in the pick map updonlyifnull is null. Constrain pick maps are also copy pick maps. In cases where the constraint is active, this results in no operation (no-op). In cases where the UpdOnlyIfNull causes the constraint to be ignored, the copy operation works. To avoid the copy operation use a calculated field as the field for the constrain pick map.

Constrain by

Each pick map object definition has a child object definition of type Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull. If you add one of these child object definitions to whichever pick map constrains the picklist, then Siebel applications will ignore the constraint if the constraining value is NULL. You might still have a non-NULL picklist field that still returns no records, but this prevents you from seeing no records when the picklist field is NULL.
